Where’s the feigned outrage for Corey Perry cup check on Jamie Benn?

By now, you’ve probably seen the chop to the groin region of Detroit
Red Wings defenseman Danny DeKeyser by Boston Bruins forward Milan Lucic … Almost
on cue, the Lucic haters have demanded a lengthy suspension of the Bruins forward.

Ah, but there’s a catch, while everyone was drawing and
quartering El Diablo Milan Lucic, the Ducks forward Corey Perry was also checking Jamie Benn’s
cup region as well. Where was the feigned outrage for that stick incident? Both plays are equally
objectionable, and if you suspend one player, you must suspend the other one, right? Here's a prediction, neither player will receive any games off. However, they will be given a stern warning and put on double secret probation. Frankly, that's playoff hockey.
